Gary Johnson: 'Religious freedom, as a category' is 'a black hole' | Washington Examiner

The man is no different than the two others he's competing against...when it comes down to it. Bleh.

In all cases?

"Yes, yes, in all cases. Yes.

So correct me if I'm wrong. Bill and Ted are for individual liberty, unless it's hard or inconvenient or they're busy.

Some individual liberty is more better than some other individual liberty...but it's nothing the boot on your neck party can't control.

So I guess the libertarians are throwing the whole "free association" thing out of the platform, eh?

Facebook friend is a huge Johnson guy. He's claiming the Washington Examiner somehow made this story up.

He's been pretty consistent on this. I take him at his word.

Edit - and why the heck isn't Austin Peterson the candidate?

Nope. Johnson stated in the interview that he was at odds with the party and libertarians on that issue. It's one many of us have called him on and disagree with him on.

Fortunately, the VP has very little to do with things such as this. Weld can wish for it, but hopefully Johnson would tell him to sit down and shut up.

It's like they are so desperate to broaden their appeal that they are gutting their support with the party's core. That way lies madness

Serious question. Who do you think Johnson would pick.

obama and hillary have the chops to be nominated.

You made me actually chuckle out loud.

You haven't convinced me that this would be a better outcome? If the Libertarian Party were in charge, what built in advantages would they write for themselves?

I think your assertion that the Libertarian party might become just as bad as the others once it became successful is quite possibly true. And if that happens I'll not support their candidate in that futuristic world. Most people start out supporting a party or a candidate to help bring about positive change. When you start supporting the party for the sake of the party, it would indeed be time to move on. If that happens in 4 years or 8 years or 12 years, I'll be in favor of skewering the Libertarian party just like the Repubs or Dems should be tossed out right now. Unfortunately, it's not really feasible to run for office without joining a political party. And right now, libertarians, even libertarian-light like Johnson represents far more freedom than Clump.

They are just more leftists...

I suggest you look/listen to more of Johnson's interviews or simply look at his record as governor. He actually vetoed spending and silly laws repeatedly.

If Weld were at the top of the ticket, I'd be much less enthusiastic although he would still be a clear improvement over Trump or Clinton.

Weld is just a heartbeat away as VP.

I have been reading his positions on Reason's FB feed. I detest his social justice stance it leads to a complete discounting of private property rights (not to mention religious rights, but I have noticed those seem to be widely rejected by the liberatarians.). I also saw the article where he wants some kind of scheme to subsidize incomes... I got through the first paragraph, my head exploded and I moved along. I probably could have voted for the LP this year.
